Performance and reliability assessment of NMC lithium ion batteries for stationary application

One of the main barriers to increasing the market size of lithium ion batteries for stationary applications is their lifetime. In order to select the optimal cells for integrating into grids, battery performance characterization and lifetime analysis need to be carried out to assess the battery performance and reliability under various operating conditions. In this work, a comprehensive investigation has been carried out to address these issues for a lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide battery type. Moreover, an empirical ageing model for the lifetime prediction is presented.
